Hivites

The Hivites were a Canaanite tribe descended from Canaan, the grandson of Noah. They lived in the hilly region of Lebanon from Lebo Hamath to Mount Hermon, and they later migrated to Canaan. The Israelite leader Joshua was said to have been commanded by God to exterminate the Hivites, but he reduced them to being wood gatherers and water carriers, and they were later forced into slavery during the reign of Solomon.
